Determinar el nivel de empleabilidad de los estudiantes de la Modalidad Presencial y Modalidad Abierta y a Distancia de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja en el período abril-agosto 2016

Abstract

Studying and working at the same time has become the way many people manage to finance their studies. Considering the fact that in the last years labor laws demand a university degree to work, there has been an increase of professionals who need to fulfill their training. The present research will serve as a reference to know the number of students who work while studying in the UTPL in their two modalities: on-site and distance in the period April - August 2016 in order to determine the incidence of employability in academic performance and dropout. The results of the analysis of this information will allow to identify what are the consequences of working and studying at the same time. It would also provide a new perspective on the employment of students, considering it not as a problem but rather as a contribution. The level of achievement and work experience of the subject group would be measure in order to compare it to the population that is devoted only to study without putting into practice the acquired knowledge.
